Senegal vs Tunisia Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions

Senegal are looking to reach their first Africa Cup of Nations final since 2002 and the Lions of Teranga are clear favourites in their semi-final against Tunisia.

Aliou Cisse's men have been impressive in the tournament so far, winning four of their five matches and conceding just a single goal.

Tunisia had drawn all four of their games in 90 minutes before knocking out minnows Madagascar in the quarter-finals to book their place in the last four for the first time since 2004.

Latest odds

In recent years there has been little to chose between these two sides with the last six encounters bringing two wins for Tunisia, one victory for Senegal, and three draws.

It was the Senegalese who won the most recent encounter, a 2-0 group stage win in the 2017 edition of the tournament, and William Hill price another win for them at 88/100 (1.88). Tunisia can be backed at 16/5 (4.20) with the draw at 11/5 (3.20).

Team news

Tunisia striker Wahbi Khazri recovered from a thigh problem to start the quarter-final win against Madagascar and should once more start. Liverpool forward Sadio Mane has been Senegal's most dangerous player and will lead their attack once more on Sunday.

Preview

The last eight saw Senegal overcome a stubborn Benin side 1-0, and the semi-final could play out in similar fashion for Cisse's men.

Indeed, the Lions of Teranga have been faced with defensive opponents throughout the tournament who have invited them to break them down, and Senegal have more often than not eventually found a way through.

Five of the seven goals they have scored in the tournament have come in the second half, with three of their five matches being goalless at the break.

Tunisia are likely to keep things as tight as possible for as long as possible and the north Africans have shown themselves to be a resilient outfit.

Tips and predictions

The price of 15/4 (4.75) for Draw/Senegal in the half time/full time market is interesting from a value bet perspective, while backing the second half to be Senegal's highest-scoring half at 8/5 (2.60) also looks like a strong option.
